HOSPITAL bosses have hit back at accusations that patients are being disrespected and treated like ?animals?.
Stewart Messer, chief operating officer at Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust, has come in for fierce criticism from a local campaign group after referring to the use of ?safari rounds? to help keep hospital capacity under control.
Mr Messer?s comments came at the trust?s latest board meeting as he explained some of the measures taking place to ensure patients are discharged in a timely and efficient manner and reduce the ongoing strains on bed space.
